Roadway Toll Collection Support

Violators are identified and images are collected. Toll transactions are stored and reported to the Payment Administration Center.

- The field element shall read the credit identity from the passing vehicle and send that identity and the amount to be debited to a center.
- The field element shall update the stored value after debiting the toll amount and send a record of the transaction to a center.
